growth of villages and small towns {
for 20 or 30 years prior to 1930, j
there is now this increase due to
the countryward trek.
■ In citing these figures Prof. Kolb
warns against the hasty assump-

that there is a uniform increase of
all types and kinds. For small vil-
lages appear to have gained the
least and many of them below 500
in population actually lost. Some
have disappeared entirely, hut there
are hundreds which are growing
and thousands which are holding
their own.
In conclusion Prof. Kolb litters
this significant statement: -"With

ing for poultry is generally less un-
derstood thpn any other phase of the
Industry. This lack of Information
is shown especially when an at-
tempt Is made to substitute certain
feeds on hand at home for those
which should be purchased qr ex-,
changed.
. Mr. Deurstyne declares that poul-
try requires a balanced ration con-
taining protein, carbohydrates, fats,
minerals and vitamins In an avail-
able form.* These should be given
In the quantity and of the quality
to maintain the bodily vigor of the
fowls and permit them to lay ac-
cording to their highest ability. It
Is Important to give the birds plenty
of.water, because the fowl's body is
55 per cent water and the egg is
over G5 per cent\,water.
Animal proteins as supplied hy
fish meal, meat meal or milk prod-
ucts are also necessary. It Is not
enough to rely on the vegetable
proteins supplied in certain of the
grain feeds. * - .
The fats supplied by grain feed
are usually enough for poultry, but
minerals should be supplied by bone
meal, oyster shell, limestone, rock
phosphate and salt. Mineral defi-
ciencies In the ration are common.
More Encour&gement for
Profit in Poultry Game
According to figures issued by tlie
United States Department of Agri-
culture, the number of liens and
pullets In farm flocks is fropi A to
5 per cent jmeater than one year
ago. It 1s thought that egg produc-
tion may not be larger for some
time to cotne. The reason given for
this estimate is the higher percent-
age of .late., bntdied pullets, ami
also because it Is doubtful' whether
this winter will be as[ mild ns that
Of 8 year ago.
Aside from this, the storage situ-
ation Is more favorable. Holdings
of case eggs on September 1 were
34 per cent below those on the cor-
responding date last year, and 37
per cent below the average of the
last five years. With this .reduc-
tion In storage supplies, even If cur-
rent production should prove larger
than Inst year, there would still be
a considerably smaller supply of
eggs available for consumption dur-
ing the next few months. ,
Egg shipments from the Phcific
coast has been light for some time,
and may decrease still further, be-
cause of a 13 per cent estimated
decrease of chicks raised last spring
and summer. The low price of
feed will also be an important fac-
tor In bringing profitable returns
from all flocks which are well bred
and well fed.—Wallace’s Farmer.
: Noted Men Who Were 1 ;a
Below Average in Height
Biographies show that on tb*
j whole there have been more prom-
inent men above middle height than
below. On the other hand, a great
many short men have made the
world sit tip rind take notice.
Thiere was Napoleon Bonaparte,
whose short stature .gave him the
nickname of “the little corporal*
He was 5 feet 2 Inches in height
Stephen A. Douglas, who was
scarcely more than five feet tall,
was affectionately nicknamed "the
little giant." And President Martin
Van lltiren was “the little magician"
In nllusion to his shortness of Rta-
ture and his mastery of political
wizardry.
Gen. George B. McClellan, the
Democratic candidate against Abra-
ham Lincoln la 1804, wns “Little
Mac," and sometimes—parndoxics(l-
ly—“Little Napoleon," a title which
he shared with General Beauregard.
Admiral Farragut was 5 feet Gt4
Inches tall.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, John
Paul Jones and Gen. Phil Sheridan
were each 5 feet; Beethoven was
scarcely more than 5 feet 4 Inches;
John Keats a little more than 5 feet
and Swinburne and Whistler are
given ns 5 feet or so In stature.
Other tnen who are described as
being short, or under medium height
were Chaucer, Michelangelo, Cho-
pin, John Milton, ltobespierte, Alex-
ander Pope, Charles Lamb, Ibsen,
Thoreau, Thomas Moore, William H.
Seward, John Quincy Adams, Wil-
liam Ellery Cbanning, Andrew Car-
negie, Alexander Hamilton and the
late Dwight W. Morrow.
An Iceless “Icebox” Can
Be Easily Made at Home
An efficient refrigeratihg box to
be used without ice can be con-
structed of a small quantity of lum-
ber, screen wire, burlap and pans.
In places where ice is not available
It Is quite efficient. The construc-
tion Is simple, the framework of
the box being constructed of small
wood, such as 1 by 2 pine. The
sides were left open, being covered
only with screen wire, but the top
is made of solid wood. One side is
used for a ^loor. On the top of the
refrigerator n pan of water is
placed.
Four strips- of burlap are re-
quired, of sufficient length to reach
from the pan of water on top to
another pan kept under the refriger-
ator. These strips are soaked in
water and then placed in position.
The box is located In a position
where it is in the path of a breeze,
and the evaporation of the water
follows, the evaporating action serv-
ing to chill the Interior of the box.

Nothng “Saved" By Not-
Advertising
‘We believe that money ‘saved’
by. not spending it for advertising
daring times like these is money in-
excusably wasted,’’ James M. Skin-
ner, president of the Philadelphia
Storage Battery Company, told 500
distributors and' sales executives In
convention at Atlantic City during
the past month. ,
“Markets are just like any-
thing else. If you want them, you
have to buy them. You can buy a
market much ehc-aper, when no-
body else is making a serious bid
for it.”
Woodrow Wilson was once the
guest speaker at a women’s club
meeting in a mid-west city. The
president of the club gave a lengthy
ana flattering introduction which
Mr. Wilson acknowledged thus:
‘Madam President, Ladies and
Gentlemen: 'Last fall I was much
troubled with dizziness. My physic-
ian said it was due to my liver.
I now know it was my eminence.”
Grade one was having a lesson on
birds.
A’fter some discussion the fact
was established that* birds eat fruit.
One little girl, however was uncon-
vinced.
“But, teacher,” she asked, raising
her hand, “how can the birds open
the cans ”

Clean Feed Is Important
Clean feed is an important part
of the whole scheme of poultry ruls-
lng. It Is qot sufficient to mix or
Jo buy clean feed. The entire ra-
tion must be kept clean until eaten
by the chickens. It Is well to have
an absolute rule that no feed of
any kind Is to be thrown In the tit-
ter, on the floor, or on the ground
where it can be eaten by the chicks.
Of course, If a small number of
chicks Is being raised and ample
range Is available so that the grain
can be thrown on a new spot each
time the chickens are fed, there can
be bo serious objection to this prac-
tice. Rarely are conditions so fa-
vorable; so, the best practice Is to
feed all grain ns well as mash In
hoppers.
Hearing a Pin Drop
“You could hear a pin drop."
I wonder how many people know
the accepted origin of this phrase.
I learned It quite by accident, while
talking with an official at Lloyd’s.
Many years ago, I was told, It was
customary to hold ship auctions at
Lloyd’s Coffee house on Tower HUL
instead of a hammer, a pin was
thrust Into a lighted candle about
an Inch from the top; -and the last
bid made before the pin fell out
of the melting tallow was accepted.
When this critical stage In the
“Onndle auctions"—as they were
then called—was reached, a death-
like calm came over the assembly,
to cnableAthose present “to hear the
pin drop.”—London Post.
Land-Grabbing
Washington, D. O.’, was created
from- a swamp when a grow of men
which Included JefTerson and Wdsh-
lngton sold off city lots covered
with woods and corn fields; Patrick
Henry had a hand In the Georgia
land frauds; Benjamin Franklin
took a filer In real estate and lost;
Robert Morris made paper profits
by the millions and ended In a debt-
ors’ prison—all this In the history
of- land-grabbing.

Feed Hens Freely
If yonr poultry flock Is not pro-
ducing as efficiently as you know It
Should be, check up on the available
feeding and watering space. See
that there is plenty of room for
all the birds to eat freely and see
further that they are given a good
balanced ration which will stimu-
late and maintain egg production.
Poorly-fqd birds will not be good
producers. Hens will pay a better
price for feed than any other kind
